My dad has a 2000, the alarm sometimes won't turn off, so make sure you arm and disarm it a few times.

99 was the first year of the WJ, so there will be issues. I hear the best are the 02-04 WJ'sIf it has auto climate control, the blend doors are known to fail. They may have be replaced/upgraded already though.

The 4.7 loves to blow headgaskets and drop valve seats.
